Overview

"Many [people] would simply love seeing their computer screen showing a lot less of English, and far more of their own language." -- gettext doc

Our aim is not only to provide a framework to ease the translation of Eiffel-written applications, allowing the user to chose his/her preferred language at runtime, but also to let the developer access informations and formats based on users' locale.

Milestones

M2: May ???

• design:
  • file formats (files holding translated strings)
  • code parser (extract strings to be translated from source code)
  • globality (how to implement, the object should be shared between all modules)
• compile a list of basic features to provide (e.g. date/time format, system locale)
• collaborate with the Vision2_and_Unicode team
